johnson Released.

Mr.. j. Nj. johnson, who was ar
rested few nights ago for having a
pistol buckled around his waist, and
whose case in the mayors court has
been continued two or three times. IN
troduced n witness this morning who
favored him, and also made state
ment which showed that he came to
Dallas last week and stopped at the
"Red Light" and put up his valise and
pistol for lodging and breakfast. lie
found work next day, and the man
who hired him gave him money to re-
deem his pistol, etc, and to come that
night TO camp. A half. brother of the
man TO whom he had hired had had
trouble with the one at camp, and fol-
lowed johnson to get his pistol,
but johnson refused TO loan the pistol.
The man then told johnson TO remain
at the "Red Light" until he returned,
which would be only few minutes.
Instead of returning he sent Officer
Meeley with the knowledge that John
son was carrying pistol and the ar.
rest was made. The mayor concluded
that the man had led johnson into a
trap for the purpose of revenge, and
he discharged him.

Last night Officer Mceley arrested
j. r. Smith on the charge of carrying
a pistol and discharging the same.
The case was heard by Mayor Brown
this morning. A pistol-shot at Bene-
dickts store between and o'clock
brought the officer to the spot and
finding pistol in Mr.. Smiths hand
arrested him.
A witness who was present at the
time said that Mr.. Smith came iuto
the store with pistol wrapped up in
piece of paper and asked for Mr.
Benedickt to whom he wished to give
the pistol, claiming that it belonged to
a friend and he did not want to carry
it, saying which he laid the pistol on
showcase and it slipped off and fell to
the floor and exploded which was the
cause of the excitement and report OF
somebody getting shot. The mayor
discharged the prisoner.

CENSUS REPORT
or the Number OF School Children
Ready.

Ready.
Assessor and Collector House will
have finished his scholastic report to
Jay. The work has been one of much
magnitude, occasioned by the two sets
of census takers. Mr.. House was con-
graduating himself this morning over
the final termination as he supposed of
getting the enumeration perfected
when Mr.. Marshall the last census tak-
er of the sixth ward sent in his COM
parativo statement, adding a little
over 200 names to the list
The report as far as he had finished
il this morning showed 1908 colorcd
school children and 1862 white chill
dren, total number of 1865 school
children. Add to this say 225 brought
in this morning by Mr.. Marshall, and
it makes a total number of 449O school
children. This is an increase of about
500 over the last census, aud is consid-
cred a good report.
The statement published yesterday
in one Of the city papers got the fig
ures about 1000 less than what the re-
port shows, which, however, Mr..
House says, was an error on his part,
some of the rolls being misplaced.

LIQUOR LOGIC.
From the Lips of Corsicana Lawyers,
Whose Whisky and Democracy
are Identical.

Judges Frost and Beal and John b.
Lee, Esq, boarded this mornings train
at Corsicana and took position OH the
anti side of smoking car in which
two men were killed in drunken
broil about year ago. A HERALD
man held down seat on the opposite
side and felt under 10 obligations to
vacate it or cork up his ears
These gentlemen began to mix up
their whisky and Democracy in man.
ner calculated to disturb Col. Patrick
Nolan who occupied seat near them,
and who, evidently, had Oh nauseat-
ing dose of the "true blue" spirit
which they sought to commend. Judge
Beal held in hand the morning paper
of yesterday and thought the cam
paign document therein was product
of the general of the anti hosts, Gov.
Gibbs. 'Let me read you some strong
points, " he reading: a tell you that we
are getting into deep water, and the
people of Texas who have interests at
stake had better let the preachers and
politicians look after each other and
they look after the material interests
OF Texas"
"Bedad, and aint Blarney Glibb a
politician ?-and ye say he wrote t."
said Pat to himself. "That is what |
calls politcianer kickin' of hisself!"
Judge Beal (reading)-"There is an
other thing that is going to drive sup.
port away from the prohibition ranks.
Their papers are abusive to every
man who speaks against prohibition"
Mr.. Lee" Yes, and that is true
They are fanatics, and should be kick
cd out of the Democratic party. Ex-
all is no Democrat, and think of Ma
rian Martin! What right has he in the
party? We (meaning antis) should
call Democratic convention, declare
against this amendment and kick oct
every one that does not subscribe to
our doctrine.
Judge Frost" Yes; they do not
comprehend the first principles of
Democracy, and if let alone no telling
where they will land us. Their abuse
is intolerablc."
"St. Patrick kiver me up wild bet
ter charity!" murmured poor Pat, as
he nodded again. "Didn't George
Clarke call these sober people dirty
whelps' at Waco? and don't ye call
'em fanatics and fools You does the
abusin' yerselfs J"
Frost" Then Bishop Galloway is
opposed to it, see."
Patrick" Faith and the same arti-
Gle that uses the Bishop for whisky
purposes declares, as ye read above
that PREACHERS should not be permit
ted to come into the race Besides,
and the Bishop is lied upon and didn't
say it, ayther."
This is not all, for tho rattle of the
moving train and Patrick's snores fill
ed the car with confusion and The rest
was lost. The reporter then thought
of the family of poor Pat, slave to
liquor who would gladly have it taken
away, and felt that unselfish people
should aid the unfortunate in down.
